2010 Carolina Crown Hornline Warmup - Clifton, NJ

[JordanLWalker20]

Quality of sound across the dynamic range is unmatched. Tone is characteristic in each section and as an ensemble. Blend is very, very close to what is being asked. Style and nuance are perfect, and tasteful. Musicality is on a level drum corps rarely sees.

But you know what makes this whole section of this show so impressive?

Control.

I love how the camera is on the side of the baritones. GO BARITONES!

[AlienTermite]

Great quality!

[qqqqeqqqq]

The chord at 1:42 is AMAZING!

[ihatemadmoe]

1:01 is the only part that needed to be worked on. Other than that, really clean.

[peytonjmusic]

what is the time signature for this cause i really cant tell haha

[JetPoweredFace]

@peytonjmusic ..4..

[ihatemadmoe]

@peytonjmusic You can do it in cut time, but it's 4/4. 

[peytonjmusic]

@ihatemadmoe thanks i see it now haha im just a freshman in high school but i want to do this when i get better

[Jealous101691]

@peytonjmusic yes

[baseballjunker4]

beautiful! except the first mello entrance :p

[ThePhantomphan11]

WOW! But Phantom is still better.

[RTGUSAS]

@ThePhantomphan11 Dude, ever heard them both live? No hornline sounds nearly as good as Crown's. Phantom sounds really raw and edgy compared to them.

[ThePhantomphan11]

@RTGUSAS yes I’ve heard both live the last three years and Crown isn't as good as Phantom. It's true that phantom hasn't been doing as well recently, but that always happens after they do really well.

[RTGUSAS]

@ThePhantomphan11 Disagree. Phantom's hornline has always been very good, but they could never quite achieve in recent years the "wall of sound" that Crown has. Blue Stars and Madison Scouts have, though. The secret? Donnie VanDoren.

Don't get me wrong; JD knows his stuff. But Crown's sound is like rich dark chocolate while Phantom's is like chunky peanut butter. People like both things....it just depends on your individual tastes. Gay-ass analogy, I know, but it gets my point across.

[TheDcifanatic]

@RTGUSAS they also dark this year because of the gold horns but i still like both phantom and crowns hornlines equally

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

@RTGUSAS no such thing as a bad analogy in music

[RJK0708]

@RTGUSAS I wonder what would happen if you mixed the two techniques, Reeses Peanut Butter brass.

[keemez]

@RJK0708

Phantom Crown? Crown Regiment? *scritches chin*...

[dcfr3ak]

@keemez *scritches at brain to figure out what scritching is*

[losingitrush]

@RTGUSAS phantom got it this year, though :p

[IIIIAnthonyIIII]

@ThePhantomphan11 Crown has parts that are a little sloppy and phantom does too...but tone and volume crown blows everybody away

[IIIIAnthonyIIII]

@ThePhantomphan11 keep thinking that but its close

[euphguy1o7]

Oh my good lord. I never realized we played those first few low brass licks so clean. It sounds so good!!

[Jplan72]

Great recording! This pre-show always gets me.

[Skaterdon77]

[Mrfunkyoyo]

[Siknastyj]
